How do you go about designing a Halloween skin for the holiest, most peaceful character in Overwatch? You turn him into evil incarnate, that's what. Cultist Zenyatta is Zenyatta's best legendary and quite simply one of the best legendary skins in Overwatch.

Clearly based off of the evil ancient god Cthulhu from the mind of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, Zenyatta's skin is quite frankly, inspired. The creepy tentacles on his face wiggle and glow green, his orbs now have huge, moving eyes on them and his ultimate now produces golden tentacles instead of arms. As mere humans, it's impossible for us to comprehend just how great Zenyatta's eldritch skin is.

The amount of detail here is astonishing - aside from the changes already mentioned, Zenyatta's orbs now pulsate green with strange runes when he meditates and he has a number of altered voice lines, including the excellent "Experience... nothingness", which he says in a very sinister tone.

From beneath his tatty hood, Zenyatta's new piercing eyes stare at the player, daring them to face him. He's a mix of creepy and cool at the same time and a fitting homage to one of horror's most prevalent writers.

Grant us eyes, Zenyatta. Grant us eyes.
